The Indiana Public Interest Research Group is a student-run, student-funded nonprofit organization at IU. We are currently working on two student-activist campaigns: Hunger and Homelessness and the Campus Climate Challenge. Last spring, we raised nearly $10,000 to combat poverty on the local and global levels during our Hunger Cleanup event and have reprised that effort this year, while bringing such events as last fall’s Global Warming Awareness Week and the upcoming Earth Day Extravaganza to campus.\nWe are able to make a difference because of the support of thousands of students, who become members by pledging just $10 per semester to the organization through the bursar’s office. Membership pledges allow INPIRG to hire professional staff to work on our campaigns, provide students with on-campus volunteer and internship opportunities, and act as socially responsible and effective advocates of the IU student body. During the week of April 9, INPIRG members will be stationed at various locations around campus asking students to pledge their support. We ask the students of IU to consider pledging so we can continue to advocate their interests and to make a difference in the global community.
